president's desk, Barack Obama signaled that he will continue to push for
gay rights by tackling the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage
as between a man and a woman, and emphasized that his attitudes on gay
marriage are "evolving."
During an interview with The Advocate, the president laid out a timeline for
implementing the DADT repeal, which he said would take "months" not "years,

发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Mar 20 11:30:01 2013, 美东)
就是把面发了，把馅和了，把东西包了。发面活馅都一样，包的时候再决定做什么就行。
我说的这办法失手的可能性极低，没有技术难度大的环节，没有精确度要求高的操作，
总体操作也很简单。面向初学者，因为对众大厨来说这就是小儿科了。
先和面,这里是约1公斤面和接近1公斤水。面种类不拘，混入烤面包用的发酵粉，用量
看说明，大约为面的1/100。
水逐渐倒入面中，用筷子拌，无任何特殊要求。这是中间状态
关键是逐渐加水，到干面基本没有时开始揉，此后有必要还可以加。水量以不太费劲把
面大概其揉到一起为准。之后用手沾水继续揉。每次到手上的面不再被面团粘走时蘸水
。到某一时刻面团会迅速把手上和盆上的面粘走，此时揉到面团表面比较干蘸水，再蘸
2，3次水揉就可以。揉的全过程约5分钟。
揉好了这样。
然后盖上醒，用保鲜膜也可以，但是是拉在盆口，不是包住面。 |
